I do not think of thee<br>As festering there in slow decay:<br>'Tis this sole thought oppresses me,<br>That thou art gone so far away.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">For ever gone; for I, by night,<br>Have prayed, within my silent room,<br>That Heaven would grant a burst of light<br>Its cheerless darkness to illume;</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And give thee to my longing eyes,<br>A moment, as thou shinest now,<br>Fresh from thy mansion in the skies,<br>With all its glories on thy brow.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Wild was the wish, intense the gaze<br>I fixed upon the murky air,<br>Expecting, half, a kindling blaze<br>Would strike my raptured vision there,</div><div style="margin:10px 0">A shape these human nerves would thrill,<br>A majesty that might appal,<br>Did not thy earthly likeness, still,<br>Gleam softly, gladly, through it all.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">False hope! vain prayer! it might not be<br>That thou shouldst visit earth again.<br>I called on Heaven - I called on thee,<br>And watched, and waited - all in vain.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Had I one shining tress of thine,<br>How it would bless these longing eyes!<br>Or if thy pictured form were mine,<br>What gold should rob me of the prize?</div><div style="margin:10px 0">A few cold words on yonder stone,<br>A corpse as cold as they can be -<br>Vain words, and mouldering dust, alone -<br>Can this be all that's left of thee?</div><div style="margin:10px 0">O, no! thy spirit lingers still<br>Where'er thy sunny smile was seen:<br>There's less of darkness, less of chill<br>On earth, than if thou hadst not been.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Thou breathest in my bosom yet,<br>And dwellest in my beating heart;<br>And, while I cannot quite forget,<br>Thou, darling, canst not quite depart.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Though, freed from sin, and grief, and pain<br>Thou drinkest now the bliss of Heaven,<br>Thou didst not visit earth in vain;<br>And from us, yet, thou art not riven.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Life seems more sweet that thou didst live,<br>And men more true that thou wert one:<br>Nothing is lost that thou didst give,<br>Nothing destroyed that thou hast done.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Earth hath received thine earthly part;<br>Thine heavenly flame has heavenward flown;<br>But both still linger in my heart,<br>Still live, and not in mine alone.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Anne+Bront%C3%AB">Anne Brontë</a><div class=q>
